Weaver-Yaqui Armory Will Be dTncKiana-vaviason I ussie . George Strickland, Denver, and Buck Davidson, Dallas, get only preliminary booking on Saturday night's wrestling show at the Roseburg armory, but Douglas county lara have shown considerable interest in the special three-fall The headimer will feature a re match between Buck Weaver. from Bloomington, Ind., and The Yaqul Kid, the talented young Indian from Sonora, Mexico. Strickland Is considered one of the finest grappling products in the Rocky mountain area and nis Japanese wristlock is one of the best fundamental holds in the sport, although it has a jiu-jitsu twist to it. In a recent natch here, Strickland looked impres sive in losing to Georges Dusette, the muscular French Canadian who is currently giving. The Great Atlas a series of crowd pleasing bouts. Davidson has long been one of the top matmen in the business and he has never had a poor per formance here. Scheduled to ap pear here several weeks ago, the ex-Texas cowpoke was unable to make the date because of fog. He has posted a guarantee to be on hand for this week's match, however. Davidson, with his drop-kicks and kidney punches, will give Strickland a terrific tilt. The non-title match between Weaver and The Kid will prob ably pack the joint after the last thrill-packed skirmish in which Weaver was disqualified for fail ure to return for the final fall. The spirited Indian, who hails from a long line of Indian war riors, throttled Weaver and had to be pulled off his opponent. Realizing that The Kid is un able to speak English, Weaver has agreed to permit Yaqui Joe to be in his opponent's corner. However, Weaver has also re served the right to have a sec- l Saloon, SoHoom free Pre, f Candy Tom, orrow. c. . nFkfl-PermiV "uranc.

'Big Jim Aiken Forgot About His Lost Automobile RENO, Nev., Dec. 2 UP)-Jim Aiken, the University of Oregon's gravel-throated football coach, is coming back to his old stomping grounds here, maybe. Big Jim or someone represent ing him, must come if he wants to recover the 1949 sedan stolen from him at Eugene, Ore., Nov. 1. Police records show the car was sold to a used car lot here Nov. 4. The records further show no report that the stolen car was received here until Nov. 20. That puzzled Reno police. How, they asked, could anyone not no tice his new car had been miss ing for 19 days? Football fans pointed to what they think Is the answer. On Oct. 22 Oregon was tram pled 40-13 by the University of Southern California. That alone, Jim's friends contend, would be enough to make Jim forgetful for weeks to come. But that wasn't all. In the fol lowing weeks, the Oregon score, board went like this: Iowa 34, Oregon 31; Washington 28, Ore gon 27; California 41, Oregon 14; Oregon State 20, Oregon 10. Suggested Rules To Undergo Test SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. The four-game basketball tour ney between Skyline Six and Pacific Coast conference teams this weekend will be an experi mental affair to test some sug gested rule changes. Skyline Six commissioner E. L. Romney said the tests will be centered on the last two minutes of each game. The question of whether the olock should run in those two minutes as it does in the other 38 will be studied care fully, Romney said. Utah plays the University of Southern California and Utah State tangles with Oregon Friday night. And Utah schools will trade opponents Saturday night Romney said the tests were prompted by suggestions from Coach H. B. Lee of Colorado A. and M. and Sam Barry of South ern California. Lee sent a letter te all skyline six basketball coaches recommending rule changes for the last two minutes. Barry wrote Vadal Peterson, Utah U. coach, that the Pacific Coast conference has been desig nated as an experimental group to try out proposed new rules for the final two minutes. Barry said under the plan the clock will run in that period just as in the remainder of the game and no substitution s will be made to stop the clock in that final 120 seconds. Romney said the same procedure will be fol lowed in the two doubleheaders here. In addition, Romney said, a complete record will be kept for study by the conference.

Phene T Late Chinooks Counted At Winchester Station Several fairly bright chinooks have been counted during the past week at the Winchester dam counting station, reported Ross Newcomb, resident biologist. This Is by far the latest that chinooks have been observed by the counters, he said. In conjunc tion with spawning observations in tne lower river the appearance of these late chinooks Indicates a better escapement of the fall run than has existed In recent years. Fall chlnook spawning popula tions are still small and merit all possible encouragement, accord. Ing to Newcomb. Anyone catch ing a fish believed to be a Chi nook Is urged to refrain from gaffing it so that it can be re leased to spawn. Since there are so few, such an act will consti tute real and important conser vation, he stated.
